one of these beltlines is not like the others.




so, is that variation of the factory build technique?
Is it within the tolerance the manufacturer states is allowable due to variations in the parts supplied?

Or did they forget to install a bushing? A washer?  Inquiring minds want to know

  1. It looks like somebody must have removed and or replaced the box and just did a shitty job. Not all body shops are created equal, I know I've been there!

    1. It looks like that. But I work at a dealership, and these were all fresh from the factory brand new. Right off the cargo ship, or railroad train, or whatever they use to get them to dealerships from where ever they are assembled. So, no bodyshop has touched it yet.

  2. Here's my guess:

    Standard cab with long bed

    Extended cab with short bed

    Standard cab with short bed

    which does not explain the fender flair on pic 2!

    Of course as a former field rep I remember seeing cars arrive at the factory with different wheels on each side and/or different decals on each side, so who knows.
